A series of diarylmethanes were directly oxidized into diaryl ketones in 67%--98% yields. Additionally, various secondary alcohols were also transformed into the desired products in 48%--98% yields. Importantly, the catalytic system in the absence of any organic solvent, surfactant, or phase transfer agent, had a wide substrate scope and a high tolerance for various functional groups.展开更多

The results showed that both CuBr and FeC13 played erucial roles in the reaction. It is noteworthy that this protocol employs mild, efficient, aerobic and ligand free conditions. The alkynes, including aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic alkynes, were transformed into the corresponding 1,3-diynes in good to excellent yields.展开更多
